In patients with autoimmune cytopenias, is there any reservation for COVID vaccination?

While benefits outweigh known harms and limited data, do you worry about vaccination in patients with a history of or active autoimmune cytopenias (e.g. ITP, AIHA. autoimmune neutropenia)?

Answer from: at Community Practice

No... benefit outweighs risk. Evidence of benefit (and its magnitude) is clear without proven evidence of risk in this population (save for potential for increased bruising in setting of severe thrombocytopenia).
